  Bonus episode with Dr Emily. This, this is an exciting announcement episode. Okay. Some of you may know that on top of this show, The Imperfects, we also have a parallel show, which is a subscriber only show. Hugh, you know this.

• 0:29Speaker 01

  I do.

• 0:29Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 0:29Speaker 01

  I know it well.

• 0:31Speaker 00

  It's called A Little More Imperfects and it's a separate show that you can only get if you subscribe to it through Patreon or through Apple Podcasts.

• 0:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 0:39Speaker 00

  So that's a bit of context for this announcement.

• 0:42Speaker 02

  It's good context because it's a pretty big announcement. It's huge.

• 0:44Speaker 00

  Hit us with it, Josh.

• 0:46Speaker 02

  We're doing our first ever live show for the subscriber community.

• 0:51Speaker 00

  Now, we've done live shows before. We've toured the country to rapturous applause.

• 0:57Speaker 00

  This will be a lot smaller, a lot more intimate and only for people who are subscribers to A Little More Imperfects.

• 1:04Speaker 02

  And we'll explain how you can get tickets and there's even a competition as well. But maybe we should give a bit more info because there's a very special guest.

• 1:12Speaker 00

  There is.

• 1:12Speaker 02

  At this show.

• 1:12Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 1:12Speaker 02

  That probably is the most exciting bit. So we've really buried the headline.

• 1:15Speaker 00

  Yeah. Dr Emily has kindly signed on to this event. It'll be the four of us on stage. Em's going to be answering your questions. So exciting, which is what she often does on A Little More Imperfects.

• 1:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah. For those that don't know, on our subscriber show, Em brings a topic in that she's been seeing show up in her clinical practice a lot. And then we ask our subscribers to share experiences or questions on that topic. And Em answers them. And that's exactly what she'll be doing in this live event. But Ryan.

• 1:47Speaker 00

  But there is one very key detail about this. Where are we having this event?

• 1:54Speaker 03

  I'm very excited.

• 1:55Speaker 02

  Go on.

• 1:57Speaker 03

  At the Baldwin Cinema.

• 1:58Speaker 02

  Hmm.

• 1:59Speaker 00

  For those new to the podcast, you may not know, but the Baldwin Cinema is very important in the lore of The Imperfects lore and history, because that is where Hugh, you and Emily first met and worked together.

• 2:12Speaker 01

  In 1998, it would have been.

• 2:14Speaker 00

  This is going to be the exciting thing because, because we are returning to the Baldwin Cinema, you and potentially Em as well, will not only be making popcorn, choc tops.

• 2:24Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 2:24Speaker 00

  Potentially.

• 2:25Speaker 01

  Well, I don't think we're making the popcorn.

• 2:26Speaker 02

  No, they're not making the popcorn.

• 2:27Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:27Speaker 02

  All the choc tops.

• 2:28Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 2:29Speaker 01

  But we are, we are going to be ushering people to their seats. We'll be the ushers tearing tickets.

• 2:32Speaker 02

  On the door, tearing tickets.

• 2:34Speaker 01

  I feel like for some reason, if I can need to do this, I don't know why.

• 2:36Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:37Speaker 03

  I'm all for it.

• 2:38Speaker 02

  Would you do it?

• 2:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, 100%.

• 2:40Speaker 00

  Okay, so a little more Imperfects live with Dr Emily at the Baldwin Cinema, August 19th. That's the date.

• 2:48Speaker 02

  Live episode. So it's actually our first ever live episode we're doing as well, because we never did the live shows as live episodes, so.

• 2:54Speaker 01

  Is there a red, is it a red carpet event?

• 2:56Speaker 00

  I don't know, actually. It could be.

• 2:58Speaker 02

  Depends what the colour of the carpet at Baldwin Cinema is.

• 3:00Speaker 00

  Yeah, it's a luck of the draw. But I imagine out of anywhere, there's a good chance there might be a red carpet there.

• 3:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:05Speaker 01

  We should walk it.

• 3:06Speaker 00

  Hmm. Yeah, great call.

• 3:08Speaker 02

  You might have to.

• 3:09Speaker 00

  Yeah, yeah.

• 3:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:13Speaker 02

  Tickets will go on sale on Monday, June the 8th. So we're giving you a chance to sort of sign up to the community. So you're there, ready to go when the ticket link drops. But the big thing that's actually open right now is the competition to win tickets to the event.

• 3:28Speaker 00

  Oh, this is the other complicated part of it.

• 3:30Speaker 02

  Yeah. So this, there's, so this is a competition to win a gold class double pass for anyone in Australia or New Zealand will be flown to the event. There'll be a hotel room for the night.

• 3:43Speaker 00

  Have we checked if there's an airport at Baldwin Cinema?

• 3:47Speaker 02

  That you're with transport from the airport.

• 3:49Speaker 00

  Okay.

• 3:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:50Speaker 00

  Important.

• 3:51Speaker 02

  To Baldwin, a night's accommodation in Baldwin. And as part of that double pass, Hugh will take you to your seat, give you popcorn, champagne, choc top on the house.

• 3:59Speaker 00

  Champagne? I haven't heard about this.

• 4:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, champagne on the house.

• 4:02Speaker 00

  Ooh, boy.

• 4:03Speaker 02

  Sparkling wine, I should say.

• 4:06Speaker 00

  For all of you French enthusiasts, apologies if you're expecting sparkling wine from the champagne region. No, not getting that. Tickets are not expensive enough for that.

• 4:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 4:17Speaker 01

  I'll also, well, we haven't included this, but I will also talk to them about the places to go in Baulin. If you're gonna hang around for the next day or something like best place to go and kick the football, the best nets to go to, best basketball ring, stuff like that.

• 4:30Speaker 00

  And other non-sport related.

• 4:32Speaker 01

  I can tell them, I can tell them all the things to go. There's a lovely bakery slash cafe called Hilltop that people, Josh and I, I'm happy to, I won't take you there, but I'll tell you where it is definitely.

• 4:42Speaker 02

  Yeah. Well, what an offer.

• 4:43Speaker 00

  So this is, as you can tell, we're very excited. And not only are we excited for the actual event where we'll be on stage, but then afterwards, we're gonna, we wanna like meet you guys. We love doing that when we're doing the live show. So we wanna meet anyone there and hang around afterwards. So, and Dr. M has offered free psychology to anyone who wants to, has any issues.

• 5:03Speaker 02

  She's setting up a booth.

• 5:04Speaker 00

  Straight to M.

• 5:06Speaker 00

  All covered in the ticket. No, that is a joke. No, she is not your psychologist. Or maybe she is. I don't know. But that would be pure luck.

• 5:14Speaker 02

  So for logistics, you sign up to our subscriber community at patreon.com/theimperfects or Apple Podcasts, subscribe. In the show notes for the episode that's out today, there is a link to enter the competition. There is a, you need a code word to be able to enter. So to get that code word, you have to listen to the episode. The subscribers own the episode. The very start of that episode, there will be a code word. It'll be very obvious, very clear.

• 5:40Speaker 00

  Yep.

• 5:41Speaker 02

  Pop that code word in, you can enter the competition.

• 5:43Speaker 01

  What are you doing?

• 5:44Speaker 00

  Eating popcorn. Well, we've got, because it's a cinema, it's a movie, it's at a cinema.

• 5:48Speaker 01

  Oh, yes.

• 5:49Speaker 00

  Belle has very kindly given us popcorn.

• 5:53Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 5:53Speaker 00

  And it's, it's not terrible.

• 5:55Speaker 02

  No. Tickets will go on sale Monday, the 8th of June, as we said. There's a link in the show notes for tickets as well. And it'll be the same code word for entering the competition and for buying tickets. And if you enter the competition, you can actually refer a friend to sign up. And if they sign up, you'll get a second entry in the draw. And you can just keep going. So you could sign up like a hundred friends. How many?

• 6:14Speaker 00

  Jeez.

• 6:14Speaker 02

  How many entrance in the draw?

• 6:17Speaker 00

  Hundred.

• 6:18Speaker 02

  Bang on.

• 6:18Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:19Speaker 02

  So yeah, hundred times one.

• 6:20Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:21Speaker 01

  This is good.

• 6:21Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 6:22Speaker 01

  Cause they think it's good for them, but it's actually good for us.

• 6:24Speaker 00

  Yeah, but you know what?

• 6:26Speaker 02

  That's the bit you don't say.

• 6:27Speaker 00

  Best not to talk about that.

• 6:28Speaker 01

  Good call.

• 6:28Speaker 00

  Yeah. Getting quick, we really, really hope to see you there. Or at the very least, you can be a part of our, um, a little more imperfect subscriber community, which is a lot of fun.

• 6:40Speaker 02

  And actually you could sign up to the Apple podcast. It's a two week free trial on Apple podcasts. So if you wanted, you could sign up for the free trial on Apple podcasts for the subscriber, not pay a cent, get the code word and then just leave after two weeks.

• 6:54Speaker 00

  That's, I don't like that.

• 6:56Speaker 02

  I don't like it either, but you could. That is a way to rig the.

• 6:59Speaker 00

  It's a, it's a technically, you're right. It is a loophole that people can.

• 7:02Speaker 02

  Exploit.

• 7:03Speaker 00

  Exploit, but we will.

• 7:05Speaker 02

  Nor be happy.

• 7:08Speaker 01

  Yeah. I feel like I'd like to say, just so you know, everyone, we try really hard with this show that we do, the subscriber show.

• 7:15Speaker 02

  We do.

• 7:15Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:16Speaker 01

  I mean, I hope people would assume that, but we do try extremely hard.

• 7:19Speaker 00

  Never heard anyone doing a show promising their audience that they try hard.

• 7:25Speaker 02

  And you know what? For this, for the live event, we will also try really hard.

• 7:29Speaker 00

  As, as, as if it's a feature.

• 7:32Speaker 00

  Not an expectation.

• 7:35Speaker 01

  It is true though, we try so hard to do a good show. I want people to know that.

• 7:38Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's good.

• 7:39Speaker 01

  Just so they don't go like, well, I'm sure they exhaust all their energy on the main show and this is just like a.

• 7:44Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 7:45Speaker 01

  The sundries. No, we really, we try bloody hard.

• 7:48Speaker 00

  We try really, really hard. So reward us for that for crying out loud. Uh, okay, we need to move on. This is just a bonus episode. It's supposed to be 10 minutes. So, um, yeah. Um, good luck in the competition. Uh, hopefully you can get some tickets and come along. Uh, it will be really fun.

• 8:05Speaker 02

• 8:29Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 8:29Speaker 01

  Nostalgia?

• 8:31Speaker 00

  Oh, it's pretty shit.

• 8:35Speaker 00

  No, what is that?

• 8:35Speaker 03

  No, the nostalgia, absolutely. And then I felt, you know, I was like 16 when I started there. You know, different time. It's nice.

• 8:42Speaker 00

  Is there, do you know if anyone that was working then is still working now?

• 8:46Speaker 03

  I should hope not.

• 8:48Speaker 00

  But if they are, good luck to them, right? Right?

• 8:52Speaker 01

  I go there a bit with my kids and I've told every single staff member when I go there, I used to work here.

• 8:57Speaker 00

  How important you are.

• 8:57Speaker 01

  They couldn't give a shit. And no one's ever said, oh, so and so is, they're just, there's no one there still.

  Yeah. Yeah, it's, it's a, it's a
